    I'm helping promote this event. The Gilmore Car Museum is one of the best collections of cars in the United States. It's a great venue for this type of meet and a must stop for any car enthusiast. Please PM me with any questions

    We are in!
    I have been to Gilmore and it is great. And the private collection sounds fantastic!
    The price is unbelievable for two entrances and dinner!
    I will be leading the SE Michigan contingent, leaving from Einstein Bagels at the corner of Orchard Lake and 12 Mile at 8 sharp. Please come with full tanks as we won't be able to stop on the way
